June 6, 2024 – Thirsty Thursday

• Brush: Chisel and Hound – Desert Ranger 26mm
• Razor: Blackland - Blackbird Lite
• Blade: Personna Lab Blue (4)
• Lather: Stirling Soap Co. – Margaritas in the Arctic
• Post Shave: House of Mammoth - Smash
• Fragrance: First Line Shave – Room 237
• The Lather: Stirling soap needs no introduction and quite frankly I think most of us know what a great soap base it is. It lathered up beautifully and with minimal effort as one would expect, and yes it does smell like a margarita.
• The Shave: The shave was smooth and efficient. The cooling effect isn’t as pronounced as some other soaps might be, but you can definitely feel it.
• Theme and Aftershave/Frag: . Well apparently I’m the alcoholic of the group as when I read Thirsty Thursday and smells like a beverage I only thought of college days and drinking too much every Thursday night. So I decided to create todays theme around a night out on the town in college. Margaritas in the Arctic kicks us off with a Mexican food dinner (a must for us Southern Californians before drinking) and a blended margarita never fails to help cool off the heat. Next up is a nice mixed drink, Smash. Like every college student I knew the mixed drinks were the effective way to go when there is only one goal in mind and little funding to get there. Eventually the bars close and its time for the after party, or straight liquor back at the apartment. Room 237 accomplishes this with the scent of 20-year aged Single Malt which is almost what Jack Daniels smells like after you’ve been drinking all night. This wonderfully alcoholic trifecta probably made me smell a lot like the homeless guy u/Priusaurus shaved next to last Saturday.
• Challenge: Well since I share the bathroom with my wife getting ready in the morning making a video is really out for me. She’s barely hanging in there after I painted my face like a Star Child a few days ago. So alas you are going to have to read about my new favorite WetTubing star Silky Smooth. Why is he better than u/VisceralWatch you might ask? We could start with the name, I mean whose WetTuber name lets you know right up front that he’s getting BBS? The answer is clearly Silk Silkety Smooth. Then there’s the hair, Its like watching Fabio shave with his “sexy fresh hair.” Truth be told the most important aspect of the shave is the secret ingredient, Astroglide, that makes the shave “XXX rated silked out.” All in all I find his videos quite informative. I'm sorry Visceral, you just really need to step up your game and get to this level.
• Acknowledgement: Thank you u/2SaintsDude for the sample of Margaritas in the arctic and the 237 frag sample.
